[SOLVED] include problem

[sharal]

Heya, i'm writing an application where the users profile information is stored in a php file - i want to include that specific file now. I'm doing this by getting the users profile file via his / her session.

It can be discussed how safe that is, but it's nothing thats going live anyway

I've checked if there's any errors in the "username.php" file ofcourse, which there isn't - i don't get any parse errors either, it just doesn't work.

 

This current line doesn't work as it's not quoted ofcourse, but it's just an example of what i want to do and have been trying

 

<?php include ($_SESSION['username'] .".php");?>

 

Hope you can help me

sorry but what you trying to do completely please...

[sharal]

what i'm trying to do is, to include a file that has the name of the user.

 

For instance, lets say that your username is Redarrow.

Your profile file would then be named Redarrow.php, if your name was Sharal. It would be named Sharal.php.  Now i want to include the correct file depending on which user logged in.

So if it's you who logged in it would include your profile file "Redarrow.php", if it was me. Then it would include "Sharal.php", which i want to do by getting the session username, where your username is stored in eg: $_SESSION['username'] = Redarrow.

 

$cuser = $_SESSION['username'];
include($cuser . ".php");

just an example

so a user first log in then his/her session is set correct?

yes, this is how it works in the reg part

 

<?php $_SESSION['username'] = "$user"; // variable from html form.
$_SESSION['pw'] = "$shapw";
$_SESSION['ses'] = "$ses";
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = 1;
?>

example only

<?php session_start();

$_SESSION['username']="redarrow";

if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){

include_once($_SESSION['username']).'.php';

}else{

header("location: index.php");
exit;
}
?>
